February 20 | Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, St. Louis Lambert International Airport

Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge, the Director of St. Louis Lambert International Airport, has announced a major renovation project for the airport. The $2.8 billion remodel will consolidate the airport's two existing terminals into a single, larger terminal with up to 62 gates. The project, designed by the St. Louis-based architecture firm HOK, aims to improve passenger flow, expand retail spaces, and enhance amenities to meet increased passenger demand.

Hamm-Niebruegge will share her thoughts and emphasize the importance of this project in making the airport more cohesive and efficient. The renovation is part of a long-term master plan approved by the FAA and is expected to be completed in stages, with the first phase opening at the end of 2028 and the entire terminal finished by early 2032.
